I like them too which is a miracle of sorts. I hate all the other clearos including the Viva.

I have a couple of the Viva Novas. I'm not crazy about them either. The draw is a bit tighter than I like. I do like the CE3's though. I know I have to fill it with a syringe but that really isn't a problem for me. And unlike some other folks, I've not had any problem with them leaking. I know I will order some more of these T3's when Hibi runs the next co-op.

Hubby keeps asking me what I want for Christmas. It is going to be a few of these beautiful batteries. I have my eyes on one that has a dragon engraved on it but it isn't blue or even red since that too is one of my favorite colors. Utility is good but bling is better. Woe to my credit card :p

I like both the Vision Vivi Novas and the Kanger T3's. I have had real good luck with both. I did have a couple of Vivi Nova's that were not made by Vision that I didn't care for. I usually use the Vivi Nova's on my bigger Mods and the T3's with my Gripper and ego type Pv's. It is funny how certain things work good for one person but not another. I have found that to be the case with every vaping device I've used from the beginning. It started with the 510 attys vs the 901 attys then 801 attys, different type fillers for the carts, next came the cartos bottom coil vs top coil, single coil vs dual coils, then carto tanks vs ce2 tanks. I have some of all of these and many that have never been opened. lol I always stock up on what I like because of the fear we had in the beginning that the government would shut down the importing of them at any moment. There were a lot of shipments being seized by customs for a period of time in 2009 and 2010. There was always suspense involved when you ordered from China. It has been a fun three years though. What has been great is how much the prices have come down in that time. You can buy a nice VV/VW Mod for what you paid for a simple e-cig that might last a month or two back then.

8 days I see, better than me! Good job.
I'm still looking for that sweet spot chaining 24mg and some 30mg which
does a pretty good job. Yeesh what a struggle it's been!!

I have some 36mg WTA juice from Heather's waiting for me at home.

Hi Old C,

Say someone mentioned to me that you got "WTA juice" from HHV so I went back and found your post. Then I went to HHV's website and only found flavors made from tobacco extract. FYI - I believe you're mistaken if you think their juice contains WTA. It's one thing to extract tobacco flavor and quite another process to extract nicotine and/or the minor alkaloids (WTA). It can be confusing, as a term used for 'getting' the tobacco flavor is NET or Natural Extracted Tobacco. This may lead you to think the process is extracting 'everything' you get from smoking tobacco which isn't the case. I started using WTA a year ago and the difference between NET and actual WTA confused me in the beginning. Now some 'extracted' flavors may contain trace/minor amounts of nicotine depending on how it's extracted. But this would only be like 1-3 mg/ml of nic and and the minor alkaloids are only a few % of that so any WTA would be basically negligible. If you're interested in knowing more just search here on ECF there's a lot of info available.

There are many vendors listing tobacco flavors using 'extracted tobacco' but there are only 2 vendors I know off that actually offer WTA e-juice, Aroma Ejuice and Vapelicious. Actually only 1 now as Vapelicious stopped month's ago actively selling.

wow 823 pages and at least one setup per page "the ones i did read through" thats ALOT of choices,I just want one that works....
Ive tried NJOY Mistic and a few other disposable ones got a Blu a few days ago,it worked about a day and a half before it "went sailing in the trash also". Well I found this site just after I wasted my money on the Blu but led me to get a ego-dual-coil-cartomizer-35ml-tank-kit from madvapes got it in this morning and now 13 hrs later still no cravings or withdraw symptoms.....crossing fingers.

TW65...glad you're here. I am still amazed how easily I stopped smoking after 50 yrs. In my opinion, spend some money on quality vaping gear and some time here learning the ropes. Just think...no more exhorbitant taxes going to the sanctimoneous #@!&%$#'s that raised them so high as soon as we bacame the minority.

Welcome tumble and good for you that you persisted and found something that's woking for you. I hope this set up works for you and before long I bet you'll be trying some new set ups just because you enjoy it so much. There's lots of choices out there and there's bound to be someone here who knows something about just about anything you might have questions about so ask away.

Yep, I totally screwed that up! Newb alert! :oops:
I realized that after I ordered, but oh well the Shadowfax and Gandalf are VERY GOOOOOD!
I highly recommend them. Gandalf reminds me of a very mild pipe tobacco and the Shadowfax
is like the perfume you smell when you lightly kiss a girl on the neck is the way I think of it.
I guess the scent awakened an old memory.:blush: It was the first thing I thought after the
first vape.

Howdy to the new 'tumbleweed'. Nice to have you join the group and nice you found something to replace those not so nice starter PV's. An eGo type PV is a good step up from those NJOY and Blu's.

Hey, I'm glad you were confused. Then I don't feel so alone with that 'condition'. Actually I'm also glad because when I was browsing the HHV site, I saw some flavor descriptions that have me tempted to order them. I've heard good things about their juice, perhaps it's time to try some. hmmm, I better be careful ordering the 'kiss a girl' juice - Janet may be watching. :laugh:
